NAME

Net::Cisco::ACS::Host - Access Cisco ACS functionality through REST API - Host fields

SYNOPSIS

	use Net::Cisco::ACS;
	use Net::Cisco::ACS::Host;

	my $acs = Net::Cisco::ACS->new(hostname => '10.0.0.1', username => 'acsadmin', password => 'testPassword');
	my $host = Net::Cisco::ACS::Host->new(macAddress=>"00-00-00-00-00-00", "description"=>"R2D2","identityGroupName"=>"All Groups:Droids");
	
	my %hosts = $acs->hosts;
	# Retrieve all hosts from ACS
	# Returns hash with host macAddress / Net::Cisco::ACS::Host pairs

	print $acs->hosts->{"00-00-00-00-00-00"}->toXML;
	# Dump in XML format (used by ACS for API calls)
	
	my $host = $acs->hosts("macAddress","00-00-00-00-00-00");
	# Faster call to request specific host information by MAC Address. No name field exists.

	my $host = $acs->hosts("id","250");
	# Faster call to request specific hosts information by ID (assigned by ACS, present in Net::Cisco::ACS::Host)

	$host->id(0); # Required for new host!
	my $id = $acs->create($host);
	# Create new host based on Net::Cisco::ACS::Host instance
	# Return value is ID generated by ACS
	print "Record ID is $id" if $id;
	print $Net::Cisco::ACS::ERROR unless $id;
	# $Net::Cisco::ACS::ERROR contains details about failure

	my $id = $acs->update($host);
	# Update existing device based on Net::Cisco::ACS::Host instance
	# Return value is ID generated by ACS
	print "Record ID is $id" if $id;
	print $Net::Cisco::ACS::ERROR unless $id;
	# $Net::Cisco::ACS::ERROR contains details about failure

	$acs->delete($host);
	# Delete existing host based on Net::Cisco::ACS::Host instance
  

DESCRIPTION

The Net::Cisco::ACS::Host class holds all the Internal Host relevant information from Cisco ACS 5.x. Hosts (in this case) are not to be confused with Net::Cisco::ACS::Device. Hosts are used as an identity item, in case of e.g dot1x configurations.

USAGE

The Net::Cisco::ACS::Host class holds all the user relevant information from Cisco ACS 5.x
